Unless you want to bring back the woolly-mammoth look,
you're probably going to get a haircut at some point in your
life.

But if you're searching for a good deal on your next
trim, we recommend that you avoid getting your hair cut
in Geneva or Zurich.

UBS analysts collected data on the prices of various services
— such as haircuts — across major cities in the
world and found that there's a strong correlation
between local wages and the prices of these services.

So cities like Zurich and Geneva, which saw the highest
relative gross salaries, also saw the highest prices for services
like haircuts.

That's not the whole story, however, as there is another
interesting angle to haircuts specifically: For the most
part, women pay more than men for the "same" service. And
that means a woman might end up paying more for a
haircut in a relatively cheaper city than a man in a relatively
more expensive city.

"In Jakarta and Hong Kong, women pay on average almost the same
as men, whereas in Dublin and Cairo, the price for women is
almost three times higher than for men. This imbalance is
seen across the globe, with women's haircuts costing on average
40% more than men's. For the price of one women's haircut in
Oslo, men could afford to get their hair cut 18 times in
Nairobi," according to UBS chief economist Andreas
Höfert.

We put together UBS' data on haircut prices for men and
women across cities. Check them out below:
